Red Pine Forest-The majority of Sunclan's territory is covered in tall redwood and pine trees, covering from the twoleg path of Lightclan's border to that of Moorclan's Sand-Grass Plains. The redwood trees are larger in circumference than the pines and offer many roots in which to hunt around or learn climbing. There are several shrubs, bracken, and other undergrowth growing around their roots or other parts of the forest floor with light often penetrating through the branches and offering glimpses of the sky to the cats below. The smaller trees growing around them offer some ways to reach higher parts of the tree for any Sunclan cats that like to climb after their prey. But due to the red of the redwoods some have often nicknamed it Blood Forest for the eerie red color cast in the trees at the right times.
Greenleaf Falls-The falls flow from a large hill within Sunclan's borders, flowing over a rocky ledge into the river below. It's current is powerful and prevents even the likes of a Lightclan cat from attempting to swim in it's waters, but there are several fallen trees laid out across the gaps between the two sides of the territory in which to cross. The embankments are rocky that give way from the forest floor and covered in moss all along the sides resembling greenleaf time, thus it's name. The flow seems to originate towards Lightclan's own river falls and even further from outside unexplored lands. These can be found closer towards the Lightclan border on the west side of the territory.
Greenleaf River-A river in which cuts through Sunclan's territory, being fed into by the Greenleaf falls. it is named due to the weathered rocks having a green coloration and due to the moss often found in it's shallow areas. The river's start runs over visible rocks that look easy to step on but are quite slippery underpaw and generally remains rocky in most areas along it. But the further one goes down some areas can be found that are deeper than others or muddy, especially at the fork by the Ancient Elm Tree where it is quite muddy and threatens to trap an unsuspecting cat. One of the forks veers off towards the rocky hollow of the clan's camp and flows in a smaller stream to a pool. The other goes the opposite direction towards the twoleg place on the south part of the territory.
Ancient Elm Tree-The ancient elm tree speaks for itself. It is an elm tree that is several seasons old with a thick trunk, thick out-reaching branches, and an excellent place to relax or hunt. The branches have been known to be especially popular for birds and offers ample opportunities to test one's jumping skills or climbing abilities, making it a popular spot for apprentices to test their skills. It is towards the south-east part of the territory and part of the areas brings a fork in Greenleaf River with the banks in this area being rather muddy while the rest untouched by the river makes it one of the few clearings in the forest.
Training Clearing-Lying a few fox-lengths away from the camp, this is another of the few clearings within the forest with small pebbles covering the area and generally smooth. There are larger rocks littering the area that can be used to sharpen one's claws or to use certain battle moves and practice height advantage with some plants growing among the cracks between the rocks. Tall grass covers around the edges that have proven to be excellent in testing stealth in undergrowth and stalking an enemy.
